In a world where spiritual bones decide your fate, one "mortal-boned" nobody swears to climb to immortality — without them.

The cultivation world has four grades of spirit-bone. Anything below is a "mortal bone" — barred from cultivation by birth. Xu Taiping is one of those nobodies, and his vow is the entire novel: prove that mortal bones can still slay demons, purge evil, and ascend to the heavens. At 8.3 million Chinese characters, Fangu is the longest xianxia to ever top Fanqie Novel's Eastern Xianxia chart, and the rare completed mega-novel where the slow-burn actually pays off — the cosmology expands in tandem with the protagonist's power, and the finale (剑开天门) delivers the kind of catharsis few xianxia ever reach. Heavy on classic cultivation terminology (golden core, tribulation, dao), so read after Coiling Dragon or A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality. Pair the two "mortal cultivator" books together for the ultimate xianxia reading binge.
